I'm tired of Warhammer and I'm searching for an new wargame that appeals to me, the problem is there are many that I find ugly; I have no problem if you like them, the problem comes when I just say they don't appeal for me, and people go nuts.

The weird irony here is when you talk abou the aesthetics about other stuff (like paintings, architecture, etc), those same people become a little to puritan.

Any recommendations for TTRPGs with actual beautiful aesthetics (nothing "-punk")?

You've told us you hate some things, but not really said what you actually like, anon. So no, I don't have any recommendations for you other than not Warhammer or anything punk.

I don't hate them, I just don't like them. Between dislike and hate are some shades, anon.

You don't know any TTRPG that appealed to you that isn't ugly ("mudcore", cyberpunk, steampunk, grimdark, etc)?

If all you can do is bitch about what you don't like without anything positive to say? Nah, get fucked.

Anon, you need to talk about what you find beautiful if you want suggestions on beautiful things
The only possible thing I can think of based on your picture is finding a medieval wargame and painting up some heraldry and tabards

If you want Medieval then Lion's Rampant is a decent baby's first wargame. SAGA is also fairly popular and covers a wide variety of eras

Well, OPicrel gives an idea, the armor of the top-left is what I found beautiful, something harmonious, detailed and effective.
There's though in how will work, how will adapt to the human anathomy, how can protect the human body.

I guess 'beauty with utility'.

This is the perfect smooth armor with no gaps ESL guy. He'll whine if you post any armor with joints in it.

The only design I've seen him post himself and say he liked was from a kids show where the villains wore spandex, so don't expect too much from him.

Medieval armor is gay though. We need return back to SOVLFVL bronze age armor.

I literally post a medieval armor with joints in OPicrel, top-left, it's a beautiful armor and I want that kind of armors in fantasy, scifi settings.

Wtf are you talking about?

Someone posting wojacks should not be whining about aesthetics.
Art is largely irrelevant to TTRPGs. It can help set the mood, but in play you'll either be using your own shit or nothing. So just use shit you like.

I like both, Medieval and BA armors.
Also, Middle Ages was an entire millennium, there were many types of armors, you should specify which one you don't like.

But what about the models? Each TTRPG has its own models with their own aesthetics, no?

No, what the fuck are you talking about? And even if that were somehow true you'd still be able to use minis from one game with another.

Rolemaster 2E. The division of its core rules across a unified system of four books (Character Law, Arms Law, Claw Law and Spell Law), each extensively indexed and supplemented with easy-to-read tables is an aesthetic triumph.

As I said in OP, I played WH, therefore I only played with WH models.

Don't you think it's a bit unhealthy to constantly be eating pepperoni? Do you ever eat anything else? How about a broccoli fart?

The problem is you specified no -punk slop when half the good rpgs are -punk in some way. Also do you mean beautiful art or beautiful design? There's no shortage of RPGs that are just some guy's leftover worldbuilding from his failed novel.

You're new and probably just a bit retarded, but actually there is some semblance of stuff you're talking about, since book art contributes a LOT to how TTRPGs are viewed. Pic related wouldn't be half as popular if not for absolutely on-point visual design.
